Shmuz #186

G-d for the Perplexed

We are commanded to love G-d. We are commanded to fear G-d. Yet we really don’t know that much about G-d.

We are certainly aware that HASHEM created the world and all that it contains, but how do we move beyond that to actually fearing and loving HASHEM? First, we must become aware of HASHEM’s presence and His involvement in our lives, concepts that, while noble, may seem so far removed from our world that they don’t seem attainable.

This Shmuz focuses us on the system of growth that brings a person to experience HASHEM thereby allowing us to meaningfully relate to Him.
